Answer:

$26.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a skirt be A and that of coat be B

Iilly bought 6 skirts and 5 coats for a total of $452.62

That’s

6A + 5B = 452.62

Also, Lilly’s sister bought 3 skirts and 5 coats for $289.36

That’s

3A + 5B = 289.36

We now have two equations

1 . 6A + 5B = 452.62

2. 3A + 5B = 289.36

Subtract equation two from equation one

We have

3A = 163.26

Divide both sides by 3

3A/3 = 163.26/3

A = 54.42

A = $54.42

Now substitute 54.42 for A in either equations to get B the price of a coat

Using equation one, we have

6A + 5B = 452.62

6 x 54.42 + 5B = 456.62

326.52 + 5B = 456.62

Subtract 326.52 from both sides

326.52 - 326.52 + 5B = 456.62 - 326.52

5B = 130.1

Divide both sides by 5

5B/5 = 130.1/5

B = 26.02

= $26.02

A coat cost $26.02

Julio believes that the quotient of 6 divided by 1/2 = 3. Explain Julios error and tell how to find the correct answer.
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

it can be written as 6/1 divided by 1/2

then you'll use the keep, switch, flip method. keep 6/1, switch division to multiplication, and flip 1/2 to become 2/1 or 2

now your equation is 6 x 2 = 12

Julio did 6 divided by 2. which could've been fixed if he changed the division sign to multiplication and multiplied

I need some help on this math problem, thanks so much
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hit 'em with the Law of Sines.

sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b.

Let's say x is equal to "A", thus 5 is "a".

sin(x)/5 = sin(B)/b.

We could go for the obvious choice for "B", which would be the 90 degrees shown. To solve for the hypotenuse which will be "b", let's use the Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 20^2 = c^2

25 + 400 = 425

sqrt(425) = about 20.6, which we can now substitute "b" with.

sin(x)/5 = sin(90)/20.6

sin(x)/5 = 1/20.6

sin(x)/5 = 0.04854...

sin(x) = 0.2427...

You can plug in sin^-1(0.2427) into your calculator, and you should end up with something like 14.047... which equates to answer choice C.
